Edward and Mara fronted this year’s Pointe Shoes campaign, which aimed to raise awareness of the amount of effort, commitment and cost that goes into preparing footwear for The Royal Ballet - the cost of which is over £250,000 a Season.

Hundreds of you generously responded and have helped us raise £30,000 since the campaign launched in April. Thank you.

We continue to welcome your donations and would like to congratulate Ms C Tonkiss, who has been supporting the appeal since 2009, on winning Mara’s special shoes.
